Terrence Romeo is worried that he may not be in tiptop condition when the Philippine national men’s basketball team clashes with powerhouse Australia and Japan in the resumption of its FIBA World Cup qualifying campaign in February.

The explosive guard, who already missed Gilas Pilipinas’ victories against Japan and Chinese Taipei last November, told InterAksyon that his injured right knee has prevented from doing any basketball activity for the past few weeks.

Due to the injury, Romeo was reduced to being a fan of Gilas Pilipinas which still did well even without him. The Filipinos defeated Japan, 77-71, in Tokyo then downed Chinese Taipei, 90-83, as Jayson Castro and Kiefer Ravena served as the team’s primary ballhandlers.

Gilas Pilipinas currently shares the Group B lead with Australia in the qualifiers with a 2-0 record. The Filipinos will travel to Down Under on February 22 before hosting Japan in Manila on February 25.
